Brexit: UK to leave single market, says Theresa May - BBC News
So, after 6 months of careful planning, all May can say is "well, we'll just walk away". Basically that was the situation at the beginning, she's made no progress,

Re: Did the UK do the right thing in voting to leave the E.U.
Dumbest leader in Europe at the moment. And all in the name of propaganda by pretending to deal with immigration.
If this was truly an issue she ought to have focused on non-EU migrants which make up the majority of those coming in each year. Cut that by half and all immigration falls by over a quarter. And all this without adversely affecting the rights of British nationals across the continent.
So instead of focusing on anything sensible, we're going to achieve nothing, while at the same time giving away so much:
- out of the single market, OUCH
- out of the customs union, OUCH
- downfall in investments
- increased chance of UK breakup
- no more protection by European courts and laws (which will suck for everything from human rights, workers' rights to the environment)
- British citizens no longer allowed to freely live and/or work wherever they please
Bummer for businesses, bummer for the British people. Lose-lose scenario that only Ms May(day) is capable of...

With the rest of them she still talks as if London can dictate to the other EU members what is going to happen ! Has she learned the meaning of "negotiation" ? As Yannis said some time ago, "You thought you voted to leave - you will be spending the next 10 years negotiating !"

You are blaming the wrong person for not getting the result you wanted.
But the common man will always look to blame.

Looks like the Irish are planning on maintaining the CTA - so if an EU passport is important for you, 4 years living in Dublin and you're back in the game...
